His right arm is around Wagner's waist as she sits on his right thigh. Wagner's right arm is extended outward and her right leg is crossed over her left. Both skaters are smiling as they look off to the right. Wagner is dressed in a white skating dress, and Paul is wearing a dark skating suit. This is a glossy black and white photograph. |
